Join us this Memorial Day for a special program honoring Gold Star families and our fallen heroes at the Veterans Monument. The two-hour ceremony features guest speakers, military honors, and a patriotic concert by the Gainesville Brass Quintet.
More than 1,100 veterans are buried at Evergreen Cemetery. Volunteers and community builders will place flags on the graves of each of them.
This is a great volunteering opportunity for families, coworkers, scouts, clubs and sports teams. Flags and maps will be provided. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Contact Karen Pruss at prusske@gainesvillefl.gov to volunteer.
